A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
Verse Concepts
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
